triggering from external switch closure and from ZM motion detection
triggering from external switch closure and from ZM motion detection
Have a external input I can use for triggering recording and think I have the info I need to do that. But wondering about how the camera motion detection will interact with the manual input. Am thinking I will keep the motion detection and add the switch input. Anything I should know about using both together?
Re: triggering from external switch closure and from ZM motion detection
This is not really a zoneminder question, and more a general camera question (1.34 is the wrong board).
Anyways, what camera make/model? Did you check the user manual to see what that says?
You can also use ZMTrigger if you don't want to use the camera's built in IO connections. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ZMTrigger. Easy way is to just use the software motion detection (in ZM). Hardware addons work well, but also take time to install. It's a tradeoff.

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl

Re: triggering from external switch closure and from ZM motion detection
Maybe I didn't explain things very well. This has nothing to do with the cameras and everything to do with zoneminder. I have a vehicle sensor hooked to another network node and planned to use this to trigger zm recording - this this is done via a script on the sensor network device. The motion sensing I have working now is done entirely with zm - nothing to do with the cameras, they just provide a video stream. Just wondering how doing both methods of triggering may interact or possibly interfere.
